The tussle left Franken’s trademark thick-rim glasses broken, but he said he was not injured.

Franken – who seemed in a state of shock and out of breath after the incident – was helped back to his feet by several people who watched the tussle. Police arrived soon after.

No word yet on whether he's being charged with assault like Greg Gianforte, as a matter of fact I doubt this will get anywhere near the media.
But that's the state of journalism these days, if a republican does it it's a horrible act of violence. If a progressive liberal does it it's a heroic defense of free speech.
